When Mars is placed in 1st or 4th or 7th or 8th or 12th house of any horoscope it makes Kuja Dosham, in horosocpe. Usually when Mars is strong the a person can not tolrate any kind of injustice and it was one of major deciding factor, which triggered the couting of Kuja Dosham as major factor in Match making of horoscope. Since 18th Century Kuja dosham has been taken very seriously, as such person could have very short life or life away from home or disturbed life. Astrologically the reason and effect of Kuja Dosham is quite different. As the native will not tolrate any injustice, so it was the thought that such person will join Nationalist group and will go against Britishes. Such person life could be very short too or he would suffer a lot in life, so priest decided tht the match of Kuja Dosham and Storng Mars must be matched with similar girl. after it Kuja Dosham took new height in matching the horoscope. Astrological Factor of Kuja Dosham When Mars is in 1st house:- By the placement of Mars in 1st house, it aspects 4th, 7th and 8th house which reduces the joy of inside home ( the native do not like to work or feel joy in four wall of home and also in crucial time he gets oposition from monther), joy with wife (health of such person counterpart is usually not good), and health or gets a lot of injuries due to his or her exiting nature. so by matching similar counter the natives gets little relax as Mars of other horoscope takes it in similar fashion.

'Kuja' means 'burning coal' or 'a fair person'. Kuja is identified with Lord Kartikeya - the God of War. He is the son of Lord Shiva. Kartikeya was born with six heads. He killed the invincible demon Taraka and released the Devas from Taraka's oppression. These qualities of Kuja depict strength, courage and the protective quality of Kuja. Thus, Kuja is known as the protector of dharma and the purpose in life, which each of us follow.

Another notion of Kuja is that 'Ku' stands for 'Earth' and 'Jha' means 'birth'. Hence, Kuja will mean 'the son of Earth'. He is brought up by six Krutika stars resulting with six faces because he is fed by six star mothers. That is reason why he is also called Shanmuka.

Kuja dosha in horoscope

One of the biggest misconceptions and fears in the Hindu society with respect to marriage is the presence of Kuja Dosha in the natal horoscope. Kuja dosha occurs, when Kuja is placed in the ascendant, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of the natal chart. However, majority of the astrologers include the 2nd house also in the Kuja dosha list. People in whose natal chart Kuja is placed in the above positions are under the influence of Kuja.

Kuja is considered to be a commander-in-chief among all planets. It symbolizes immense courage, aggression, vitality, confidence and warrior qualities. It drives the fire of independent spirit and sense of purpose among individuals.

Kuja Dosha and its effects

A simple survey shows that as many as 90% of the people in the Universe will be under the influence of Kuja Dosha. Every one of us, at one time or the other, will hear about Kuja. The word is more prominently heard when horoscopes of the bride and bridegroom are studied before their marriage. Unfortunately, in almost all of the cases, we tend to be very much worried about the presence of the Kuja dosha in the natal charts that we begin to feel that certain things in life, such as marital life for instance, will get disturbed or worse they are deprived of. Before we proceed further, it is important for us to be clear that Kuja is not a matter to be afraid of and it is not the end of the world for them. Matters pertaining to the intensity of the Kuja Dosha and its cancellation play major roles and we shall attempt to study about Kuja, Kuja dosha and various related aspects.

General remedies to Kuja dosha

People who are afflicted with severe Kuja Dosha should marry a person having the same quantum of Dosha. Also such people should worship Lord Hanuman daily, by reciting Hanuman Chalisa. They should visit the temple of Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays. Another remedy is to keep an idol of Kesariya Ganapati in the pooja room and worship Him everyday.

Whenever mars is situated in 1st,2nd,4th.7th,8th,and 12th house in the birth chart it is called kuja dosha or mangal dosh.A person having kuja dosha endures hardships in marriage and partnership.The person having kuja dosha is victimised in the course of his/her marriage and ends up in a divorce or seperation though the person is not at fault.A person having kuja dosha should marry a person who also has kuja dosha in the birth chart

Kuja Dosha is primarily considered at the time of marriage. Many people consider Kuja Dosha as a bad yoga and are reluctant to marry the persons, who have the dosha, even if the dosha is canceled in the birth chart. The nature of the troubles in marriage absolutely depends on the nature of Kuja in the natal Chart and the navamsa Chart Also the birth chart's overall strength should be assessed, especially regarding aspects from any benefic planets on the 7th house and 7th lord. Another factor influencing the Kuja Dosha is the age of the person at the time of marriage. Kuja is said to have a maturity age of 28. For a Kuja dosha person, the malefic effects of Mars reduce after the age of 28. Common effects with respect of Kuja in the natal chart

Kuja in the first house - quarrelsome on even minor issues; combative and dominating in relationship.

Kuja in the 2nd house - harsh speech.

Kuja in the 4th house - aggressive emotional nature, which may effect the career-front, with frequent changes in profession.

Kuja in the 7th house - a lot of energy; differences with family members.

Kuja in the 8th house - early death of the mate.

Kuja in the 12th - financial losses, many enemies and repressed anger.

According to Parasara's Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, if Kuja is placed in the lagna, 4th, 7th ,8th and 12th houses, without any aspect or conjunction of the benefit planets, then the husband of such a women certainly have an early death. Hence it is understood that if Kuja has an aspect of a benefit or is conjunct with a benefit, then there is no dosha.

An exception to this however exists. "If a woman with the widowhood yoga marries a man with a similar yoga of loss of spouse, then such yoga will get cancelled." Hence the second exception given by him is that Kuja Dosha is canceled, if both the girl and the boy have Kuja Dosha. Exceptions to Kuja dosha

Kuja dosha gets canceled in some special conditions as defined below:

When Kuja is in its own sign Mesha, exalted Karkataka or in the houses owned by planets considered to be his friends viz., Ravi, Guru and Chandra.

If Kuja is in the 2nd house, but in the signs of Mithuna or Kanya.

If Kuja is in the 4th house, but in Mesha

If Kuja is in the 7th house, but in Karkataka or Makara.

If Kuja is in the 8th house, but in Pisces.

If Kuja is in the 12th house, but in Vrushaba or Tula.

For Karkataka and Simha lagnas, Kuja is a yoga Karkataka and so no dosha wherever it is placed.

For Kumba lagna, if Mars is in the 4th or 8th house.

If benefic Guru or Sukra occupies the ascendant.

If Kuja is in conjunction or aspected by Guru or Chandra.

If Kuja is in conjunction or aspected by Ravi, Budha, Sani or Rahu.

Kuja Dosha is considerably reduced, if Sani aspects the houses owned by Kuja, but subject to the other planetary positions in the natal chart. Remember that even if a person has severe Kuja Dosha, after the age of 28, the effects of Kuja Dosha are reduced. General remedies to Kuja dosha

People who are afflicted with severe Kuja Dosha should marry a person having the same quantum of Dosha. Also such people should worship Lord Hanuman daily, by reciting Hanuman Chalisa. They should visit the temple of Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays. Another remedy is to keep an idol of Kesariya Ganapati in the pooja room and worship Him everyday.

I am not astrologer.. But As far as I know, Kuja Dosham is considered to be bad yoga.Then Person has Kuja Dosham in 8th place, it is told that the death of spouse will be happened. If it in 4 th place, the delay in the marriage , and the chance of not getting nice spouse or possible. The persons who has Kuja Dosha does not tolerate injustice and often behave aggressive.

Anyway, there are expections which Rasi(I don't know English word for Rasi ex: Leo, gemini) and some other factors of the birth chart.

Remedies for Kuja Dosa: 1. the person who has kuja Dosa has to pray Lord shiva's wife Parvathi. and he can offer prayer to Lord Hanuman on Tuesday.
